IN oLphN TIMES
just ss there were strong men before Aga
mennon, 80 have there been good many
ladies' before Madame Dieulafov who have
persisted In wearing small clothes. One OF
the most curious of the letters from Heoise
TO Abelard from the Paraclete Is the epistl0
In which she complains OF the obstina3y of
the nuns under her control in sdhering to
their hauts-de cksussss, which were real.
~ tights extending from the waist - the
toes but, at all events, the good sisters OF
the Paraclete wore mOnastic tunics and
robes over their sub frock garments Among
the many hundred examples of costumes OF
the female monsstic orders figured in the
Pere Bohamie's ponderOus work, there are
only two instances Of sisters OF = religious
community wearing visible trousers and
these are Coptic and Syrian nuns, the
vOluminous bags being OF the pattern
commonly known as Turkish. Through
out Europe, from the remotest times up to
very recently, 1t hss been generally consid.
cred that the wearing Of male attire by
women was, with lew exceptions, not only
iucobEtuous, put improper: IN ths case OF
